Baconfest Chicago Pro Bacon Cook-off

If you're living in Chicago and love Bacon, you might wanna check out the Pro Bacon Cook-Off, part of general Bacon Fest events (though Bacon Fest isn't until April), which will be held at The Publican (and they are definitely worthy hosts - their pork is awesome). It involves 10 chefs competing for best bacon dish. The audience not only gets to watch and enjoy the sweet scent of bacon in the air, but will also receive a tasting portion of each chef's dish, 10 2 oz samples of beer (I wonder if these are official pairings or just, you know, tasty), and a bacon gift bag. Sounds pretty awesome. Tickets are available here.

You may notice that they are not cheap. It's times like this I sort of wish that I had a wealthy benefactor, or wrote this blog in some kind of professional capacity that would involve me being sent off to cover the event with a free ticket. Oh well. I'll cook MY OWN bacon! Yeah! So there!

Call for submissions

Be a part of it! Send me whatever fascinating or delicious pork-related stuff you've got. I'll credit you (with a link to whatever site you choose), so not only will you be advancing the cause, you'll also be earning undying glory. Drop me an email at kasiab at gmail dot com. Warning: in case the AD FREE banner above doesn't make it clear enough -- I'm not interesting in promoting your product unless I actually like it. If you've got some pork-related thing I think is cool, I'll happily put up a post about it. Emails written in pseudo-enthusiastic robotic corporate ad-speak creep me out; please don't send them to me.
